i was happy but extremely nervous. the year prior i had a miscarriage so i was really paranoid about having another one because i knew it would just kill me to go through that again. but i’ve made it 31 weeks this time so that’s a relief.

I was surprised and happy. We had been trying for two years with no luck and when we decided to take a break from actually trying (although we didn’t do anything to prevent it), I got a positive pregnancy test!

My first thought was “wow that was fast”. Me and my husband were trying for about a month so we were pleasantly surprised. After that I was happy that I was going to give my son a playmate.

i was only 20 when i found out and i was pretty scared but i didnt ever consider abortion as i dont believe in it and i couldnt have a baby in the world who was someone elses child, so i went through with the pregnancy & im glad. ive never been happier, my son is 3 and a half and im pregnant with my second child! my family helped me out and i had a devoted boyfriend of 5 years who i am still with now.
good question as i know that some will not be in the same position that i was

I am really happy as was TTC, but also really really nervous after previous miscarriage at 7weeks

well that happened quick
We decided to start trying that month, and that month we got pregnant. So I was very excited, but mostly just in a state of shock like disbelief. I think I was like that until we had our first ultrasound at 11 weeks and actually saw the little one. I didn’t have morning sickness, so up until that point i didn’t truly “feel” pregnant.

I was completely dismayed when I fund out, i broke down in tears. I had just broken up with the Father a couple weeks prior, so I thought it would be best to end the pregnancy but the closer I got to that appointment I got so very sad. So I decided that if I felt that sad then it wasnt the right thing for me to do. I have decided to keep it and just do it all by myself. I am happy with my decision but still fearful as to what the future will bring.

My daughter was not planned. My boyfriend and I were in shock, but adoption or abortion was never an option. We had been together for 3 years and were financially stable but we were looking to advance our careers before starting a family.
I found out and was speechless. When I told him we were sitting by the river and he kept looking at it like he wanted to jump in! It made me feel bad, but then he gave me a kiss on my forehead, a hug, and started calling everyone on the phone to tell them.
She is the best surprise we have ever had!

When I found out I was pregnant I was shocked and surprised. I knew for a fact that I would be keeping my baby. Even though I knew my mother would be upset I still told her. Now she is happy for me and she also support me. After I give birth to my daughter hopefully March 24.2010, I would be going back to school to finish and get my degree.

with my first pregnancy i was nervous,it being my first baby its natural to be a little scared.
abortion or adoption was not an option for me i wanted to have the baby.
so i did she is 5 years old today
with my second i was shocked not expecting that at all! lol
again adoption or abortion was not an option for me i wanted to have the baby.
but this time i was way more nervous of having two kids.
he is now 3 years old today
with my third pregnancy i had a feeling i was pregnant and wasnt really shocked.
Once again no abortion or adoption for me.
today i am 36 weeks and 3 days with another little boy due march 5th!!

Im 16 and i got pregnant when i was on holiday in turkey,
When i found out i was stunned & just couldnt stop crying, mainly because i was scared what my family would think but also because i thought my life was ruined and i don’t see the dad to confide in (we are in contact),
i was negative at first & booked several abortions but just couldnt bring myself to go, but then i thought about how some people can’t have children & how lucky i am, i also thought about it must have been meant to be…
I certainly didnt even think about adoption i just couldnt do it and now im 25 weeks pregnant with a girl
and im so excited!!
my life isnt ruined either, im doing my GCSE’s early as im due around the time im supposed to have them, the college im going to at the end of the year is giving me free child care so i can get on with my life, and my friends havnt ditched me

i cried my eyes out. i had just recently moved 3 hours away from my mom. my boyfriend and i bought our own house then within a month i find out im pregnant. i still cry to this day because i miss my mom. i wish she could be around for my pregnancy. we are best friends and we talk every single day. its hard having her so far away.
